WHAT IS THE MILITIA DEFENSE CONDITION ??

The Militia Defense Condition is similar to the alert system used by the U.S. Department of Defense to give the general public a rough scale of our nation's state of alertness between a state of peace and a state of war.  It is color- coded similar to the Homeland Security Advisory System.

TotalSecurity.US partnered with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to establish and create two new phases in the Homeland Security Advisory System.  The threats were categorized from low to severe levels by colors.

The original five colors all indicated varying degrees of threat. However, the black signified actual attack and purple indicated the recovery phase. The black state is in effect only when an attack has actually occurred and the time immediately following. The purple state involves complete recovery and restoration of the transit service after the attack has ended. The purple abd Black state may also exist during the transition time from a higher threat condition to a lower threat condition.
